Creating Spaces of Hope : Young Artists and the New Imagination in Egypt

Young Artists and the New Imagination in Egypt. Amid a dark cobweb of dismay and despair in post-revolution Egypt, Caroline Seymour-Jorn reveals many spaces of hope weaved from various artistic tools fiction, music, painting and street art.

In her exploration of these novel artistic spaces, she proves that the artistic and personal are equally political.

The critique and approach employed by the author attest to the fact that the 2011 Revolution has radically subverted traditional imagination systems.

A myriad of spaces of hope is what this book reveals.----Shereen Abouelnaga, Cairo University
